Let’s hibernate our way out of stress culture
As finals rise to our horizons, days get shorter, and the weather gets colder, there’s something magical and all too appealing about crawling into a cozy cave and sleeping until spring.

We need to implement structural and societal changes to live more attuned to our natural rhythm.
